Your reminder: the louder and more expressive your Your reminder: the louder and more expressive your child is, the more relaxed their nervous system is. When kids feel they don’t have to be ‘on guard’ and quiet all the time, shows they feel truly safe with you. A loud and chaotic home often signifies trust in action! #parenting #reminder #children #behaviour #fyp

Wow! Just thinking about how amazing women’s bodie Wow! Just thinking about how amazing women’s bodies are! Did you know A second pregnancy triggers distinct, long-lasting neural remodeling that differs from the first, refining the brain for increased multitasking and maternal care? While the first pregnancy often focuses on social cognition, a second pregnancy strengthens networks related to attention and sensory processing, allowing mothers to better manage the demands of multiple children. I’ve had 4 pregnancies and 3 babies, how about you? #pregnancy #brain #neurosciences #mothers #viral
Every day pretty much, someone guesses my ethnicit Every day pretty much, someone guesses my ethnicity and it’s usually different every time! Love that I’m ethnically ambiguous. I feel I belong everywhere (most of the time) and I’m always assumed to be a local when I’m abroad and people ask me for directions! I was born in the UK so I’m British but if you don’t know already, where do you think I’m originally from? #guess #ethnicminority #fyp #viral #british

Wow! I’m feeling emotional because after almost 4 Wow! I’m feeling emotional because after almost 4 and a half years, my third child and only daughter had her first ‘cut and blow dry’ today and all I can think about is that I grew those split ends when I grew her 🤰😂! She’s not a baby anymore 😭. It’s still long but without all the straggly ends! Thank you @alexa_hairdresser 😘…What do you think and how old was your baby when they had their first cut? #haircut #daughter #fouryearsold #fyp #viral baby newborn long hair third child parenting mom mommy parenting milestones

Out now: I contribute to this transparent, insight Out now: I contribute to this transparent, insightful piece on the rise of kid influencers in the new issue of @goodhousekeepinguk, sharing how I pivoted into an accidental digital job in 2010 after a hard-won career as an award winning screenwriter and TV director quickly realising that the inflexibility of the industry no longer suited my new life as a mum. I started my blog at the advent of blogging and Facebook, some say online writers like myself were pioneering but we had no way of knowing how life and work would evolve. Having directed children in my former career, I’ve always been careful about how and when my children have appeared on my platforms, and that will of course be different for each individual. My kids have all grown in confidence thanks to my online career and as my boys have grown older, they don’t feature as much. They’re grateful for the perks of my job but most of all they’re thankful I’ve been more present for them thanks to a flexible, remote job online that has allowed me to utilise my previous career’s transferable skills and push some boundaries on the way, helping, hopefully for more creative mothers online to be taken seriously, because, well we certainly have influence. #press #kidfluencer #mumlife #momboss blogger
Have you heard of the ´grandmother hypothesis’? It Have you heard of the ´grandmother hypothesis’? It’s is a prominent evolutionary theory suggesting that menopause exists to allow women to live past their reproductive years so they can help raise grandchildren, ensuring the survival of their kin and genetic lineage.

Wow! I learnt today recent studies suggest that wo Wow! I learnt today recent studies suggest that women who have kids later (30–35+) or have a longer reproductive lifespan (late menopause) may experience less cognitive decline (better memory) in later life. Researchers believe this phenomenon is not necessarily caused by pregnancy itself, but that late fertility acts as a marker for slower, healthier biological aging. #research #fyp #over40 #maternalage #mothers
